Novel Full Chapter 619: A Dual Purpose
Villain Ch 619. A Dual Purpose
Vivian and the security personnel mirrored Allen’s confused expressions. They stood there, inadvertently becoming part of this unexpected love drama, their surprise evident in exchanged glances.
Mila, undeterred by the perplexity around her, looked at Allen with pleading eyes. “No, I don’t think it’s too fast. My brother needs to talk to you,” she said, her voice carrying a mix of urgency and hope. However, the confusion in Allen’s tone revealed he wasn’t on the same page.
“Brother?” Allen repeated, his frown deepening as he began to piece together what Mila meant. “You mean you just want me to talk to your brother?” he clarified, a sense of relief washing over him as he realized this might not be as complicated as he initially thought. The idea of meeting her entire family, especially after such a dramatic confession, had unnerved him.
“Yeah,” Mila affirmed, her eyes hopeful. “He’s also a Hell’s Gate player and participated in the tournament two years ago. He really admires you,” she explained, weaving a narrative to justify her unusual request. At least she wanted to orchestrate a meeting between Allen, Noah, and James.
Allen’s frown deepened. “Oh, wait, you mean this will be a talk between fellow players?” he sought clarification.
“Yes. But maybe more,” Mila answered, a hint of uncertainty in her voice.
Allen fell silent for a moment, contemplating the implications of this unexpected development. He weighed his options, considering whether to accept Mila’s offer or dismiss it altogether.
After a couple of seconds that felt like an eternity, he finally spoke up. “Okay, I agree,” he conceded, his tone measured. Slowly, he lowered the key that was attached to Mila’s neck and cautiously stepped back toward Vivian and the security guard. His eyes remained fixed on Mila, still trying to decipher the motives behind this sudden twist. It was still fishy for him.
But he had another trick on his sleeve.
The bodyguard immediately shifted into a protective stance in front of Mila once Allen released his grip, ensuring there were no unexpected moves. Mila remained in her position, observing the unfolding dynamics.
“But I have my terms. We will meet at the café I appointed. I’ll let you know in fifteen minutes when and where,” Allen asserted, his voice firm, leaving no room for negotiation. It was a straightforward choice, a yes or no, take it or leave it proposition. “Do you agree or not?” Allen repeated, his gaze unwavering.
Despite the complexities of the situation, he aimed to assert control and set clear boundaries. There was an urgency in his tone, indicating that he wanted to resolve this quickly, perhaps to prevent the incident from escalating.
Mila’s initial happiness at Allen’s agreement was swiftly replaced by a cloud of worry. A nagging concern crossed her mind, and she couldn’t help but voice it, fearing the consequences. “Are you going to call the police and press charges?” she asked, her anxiety palpable.
She realized the severity of her actions, even though the number of witnesses was limited; it seemed enough to imply Allen’s intent.
“It depends on what you will do and how you can behave. If you come, just with your brother and no intervention from others. We will keep this between us,” Allen declared, his words carrying a tone of uncertainty. The answer served a dual purpose – outlining a conditional agreement and subtly instilling a sense of apprehension to dissuade any hasty decisions on Mila’s part.
“Okay,” Mila conceded reluctantly. The agreement felt like a double-edged sword for her – a chance to reconcile but also a concession that she had little control over the unfolding events. Allen’s willingness to meet was both a relief and a potential source of further complications.
“Good. Give me your number; I will contact you as soon as possible,” Allen instructed, his voice carrying a decisive tone. Mila hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly recited her phone number, feeling the weight of the situation intensify. She couldn’t shake off the realization that her impulsive actions had led her to this point.
Mila extended her hand towards the bodyguard, a silent request for a piece of paper and a pen.
The bodyguard understood her unspoken plea and responded, “Are you sure, miss?”
Mila affirmed with a nod, determination flickering in her eyes.
The bodyguard efficiently retrieved a pen and a small notepad. As she wrote down her phone number, the bodyguard observed the process with a discerning gaze.
Mila completed the task, handed the note to Allen, and said, “Here you go.”
Unexpectedly, the bodyguard intercepted the note before it reached Allen’s hands. Mila’s surprise was evident, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. The bodyguard, recognizing the unspoken question, calmly explained, “Just a precaution. We have to be careful, considering what he just did.”
Mila, absorbing the rationale behind the precautionary measure, could only nod in reluctant agreement.
The bodyguard handed Allen the note, he glanced at Mila briefly before reading the scrawled digits. Mila awaited his response, a mix of apprehension and curiosity in her gaze.
After scanning the number, Allen broke the silence, “I’ll contact you.” His words held a tone of finality, leaving Mila to grapple with the uncertain anticipation of the upcoming interaction.
Allen, with a determined yet subdued demeanor, turned away from Mila, the bodyguard, and the unfolding drama. He approached the security personnel, his voice barely audible as he discreetly requested, “Can you take me to the control room?”
The security, attuned to Allen’s subtle request, nodded understandingly. “Sure,” he replied in a hushed tone, acknowledging the need for privacy in this situation.
The security officer swiftly accessed his two-way radio. “I need a backup here. Can someone replace me?”
The radio crackled to life with a prompt response, “I got you. I’m almost there.”
The incident, having transpired in a public space, hadn’t gone unnoticed by the control room. Anticipating the need for additional personnel, they had already dispatched another staff member and they would arrive in no time.
